Service

Happy Shoppers At Altrusa Kidzshop

Over 300 children meet in August to participate in Altrusa’s Annual Kidzshop at Heritage Mall to choose new school clothes, shoes and backpacks filled with school supplies and toiletries. Each child is accompanied by a volunteer shopper selected from all parts of the community. Donations and grants provided the $37,000 necessary to furnish each child with $100 in shopping money. Retailers at Heritage Mall, Sears, Payless Shoes and Old Navy opened their doors at 6:30 AM with extra staff and super sales. At the end of their shopping spree the children were treated to pastries and cold drinks provided by a local credit union while parents waited in the Food Court.

Celebration of Trees

With the help of a local business we decorate a tree for the Boys and Girls Club of Albany's "Celebration of Trees" auction.
